About The Project

The Chester Beatty Library in Dublin with the continued support of The Sumitomo Foundation in Tokyo, have now commissioned Restorient to conserve three more of their most treasured Japanese paintings. Dating from the early 17th century this set of hand scrolls chart the epic tale of "Hunting the Ogres"
It will be possible to follow the conservation of these magnificent hand scrolls here on this blog. We at Restorient are delighted to have the opportunity to share this remarkable project, and to offer some insights into this type of specialist conservation.

As the hunt for the Ogres of Oeyama is coming to its conclusion we were very pleased to be able to share the project with his Excellency Ambassador Neary from the Irish Embassy in The Hague. He was previously based in the Irish Embassy in Tokyo and was keen to see the conserved handscrolls and maintain his interest in Japanese culture.
